Taking Your Seat at the Table

Megan Alexander shared some powerful insights.

She said, “You have more power than you think. What matters to you? What are the non-negotiable? What if we could raise up strong solid women of faith in leadership positions and help them take their seats at the table, what if that could be our greatest testimony to the world?

I’m so thankful for the foundation. To think about what we do and why we do it. And how None of that would’ve happened if I didn’t raise my hand and be a person taking a seat at the table.”
